JOHN FENTON, OF AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.

FASTENER FOR HATS, BONNETS, AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. E5, 1 907.

Application filed May 7. 1906. Serial No. 315.505.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jonx FENTON, a subject of His Majesty the King ofGreat Britain and Ireland, residing at Grey Lynn, Auckland, in thecolony of New Zealand, have invented certain new and usefulIniprovenients Relating to Fasteners for Hats, Bonnets, and the Like. ofwhich the following is a specification.

According to this invention the guide instead of being fixed to the hatis made in the form of a perforated plate which is adapted to slide in aframe having a comparatively long slot for the passage of the pins andwhich is secured to the hat upon the inside or outside of the crown. Theadvantage of this arrangement is that the guide being free to moveallows the pin to be passed through the hair at an angle on a horizontalplane to suit the desire of the wearer and the dressing of the wearershair.

The pins may be long enough to reach across the crown of the hat andtake into a pad which is sewn upon the opposite side. The pins terminatein a shank upon which is secured an ornamental head of any design.

Referring to the accompanying drawing.Figure 1 is an invertedperspective plan of a hat showing my Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspectiveplan showing the fastener removed from the hat.

The frame 1 is sewn to the hat through holes 2 therein and has thelongitudinal slot 12 and its top and bottom edges turned over to provideguides 3 and 4. A slide What I do claim and desire to secure by LettersPatent of the United States is A device for the purpose indicatedcomprising a frame adapted to be secured to a hat having a horizontalslot and guides upon its top and bottom edges, a slide piece adapted towork horizontally in said guides and pins secured in a knob and passingthrough said slide substan tially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two Witnesses.

.TOHN FENTON.
